I'm an HVAC tech and also knowledgeable in most trades.I'm helping my daughter by moving her laundry room to the second floor. My lay out is the same as a recent one posted where the laundry sink is left of the washer but in my case the 2" drain to basement is about 32 inches to the right of where the washer stand pipe is located. The most recent drawing posted here, show"s the drain to basement directly below the stand pipe. Also are AAV's permitted in Ohio or is running vent through the roof best? thank you!

running vent through roof is good practice even IF an AAV is permitted

You can move the drain in the 2nd floor laundry to where it needs to be using 90 or 45 fittings then use a tee, the branch on the tee is for the trap and the run would be for the drain and vent

just drain the washer hose into the sink.
use an auto vent for the sink trap and you will be fine.
do put a pan under the washing machine.
use a 1 1/4 inch black plastic sump pump hose for the drain from the pan.
just snake it aroud and down to the basement.
it is only an emergency drain,

Yes, Long sweep up to the sink is best practice. I would put a clean out between LS and sink tee.

Are you referring to the elbow directly below the sink drain opening where I noted that as a possibility in my drawing?
From what I've learned, all drain and vent fittings connected to the a vertical drain/stack must be sanitary T's, correct? And Y-T's are used when tying a drain to a horizontal run with the 45 facing up. Also what type fitting would be used if you were tying a sink drain to to a horizontal run but you can only approach the horizontal run from the side. Thanks again?

T-Ys are NOT acceptable 'at all locations'
The sink tie-in to the 'stack' MUST be a sanitary T, NOT a T-Y, else you create an 'S' trap.
Your drawing is perfect as is.
